Who cares what some military commander(s) think about or say? They aren't paid to think, only follow commands. If they say anything outside of doing their duty and following commands that come down the ladder, then that is candid and personal. Like hanging out at the bar with your co-workers and shooting the shit, it's off the clock.
Besides, it could be true, although that would surprise the hell out of me. A lot has to happen before the vengeful Lord comes back to Earth. I think of the rebuilding of the temple as the final 10-second countdown (so to speak), but a lot of shit has to hit the fan first.
Just think what would happen if a stray Iranian missile took out the Dome of the Rock - the Doom Prophets™ would go wild with ecstatic speculation! Prepare the fatted red heifer! The end is nigh!
